Brank Check the date...

    Ultranova changed the title to Galactic Civil War 0.8.1 (Now with upgraded armour!) (Compatible with 0.15.0).

      TO ALL USERS OF KROOM'S FORGE

      The latest update of Kroom's forge is incompatible with GCW, but it is fixable. It will be fixed in the next update for GCW, but for now, if you wish to use KsF 1.0.6, then please download this file and follow these instructions.

      1. Open the folder where mods are located. This can either be found in {User}/Documents/My Games/Cosmoteer/Mods or can be accessed via the hamburger menu in the Cosmoteer mods menu.

      2. Find the GCW folder, which should be named ultrablast.gcw0.8.1 or similar depending on the version you have. Then, go into the GCW folder, then the Parts folder and find the part folder named ancient_minigun.

      3. Open a new window and find the place where you downloaded the file that you downloaded before.

      4. Copy this file into the ancient_minigun folder and replace the existing file with it. This should fix the issue, but please let me know if you are still experiencing issues.

      Ultranova So basically turning it off an on again?
      I interpreted it as that but ok

        JSpaceS Not really, I made some changes and released it as a hotfix (sorta).

            @Walt Reckon it's time we move this thing over to it's own talk section. Or rather reckon it was time to move this thing 500 posts ago

            IVIemories The thing is though, I don't want this mod to have its own section. I already gave my reasoning for my stance in the request thread, but I also don't think this mod deserves a section

                Ultranova The thread is already getting to the point where we should probably be locking it due to excessive length. Eventually we will have to make a decision on whether or not you are allowed to make a new thread on list of mods or be forced into a mod talk section.

                  Destroying certain portions (exact portions unknown) of the R-UPA Heavy Dreadnought causes a crash by pathfinding failure. Log file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yNkTyPC2P4Oe5okd0eB9yakCYhNHeWQt

                  While I've loaded other mods, the ship that causes the crash (R-UPA Heavy Dreadnought) uses parts from only vanilla and this mod. Another test, this time using only GCW and the Civilian Trade Station (also from GCW) as target practice, still crashes the game the same way at some point.

                  IVIemories The reality is that this mod is drawing very close to being abandoned, as there are only two updates left to be completed before it is fully complete. As I have no interest in continuing to support this mod or allow someone to update it, starting a new thread or giving it a mod section so close to the abandonment of this mod seems unnecessary to me.

                    Designer225 I am already aware of this issue, but it is out of my power to be able to fix it.

                      Ultranova
                      Well, what happens after this mod, will you make another mod?

                          Tellitubbi definitely, I already have a plan drawn up and ready, as well as basic designs and some art (and no you can't see it yet)

                            Ultranova Yeah... after everything I tried editing the config, the result either crashes the game, proves to be aesthetically displeasing, messes with pathfinding in a non-CTD way, or the last two combined. If onlyIsWall = truedoesn't create invisible walls everywhere... (And since base_part.txt definesExternalWalls = [All], it's not impossible for the devs to do that and still have walls everywhere by default. Sections without walls could be treated as invisible doors instead... I'm considering filing a modding suggestion for that...)

                            I straight up turned them into glorified corridors because I had no other idea on how to fix it. At least now I can destroy trade stations and dreadnoughts without having to worry about hybrid corridor-induced crashes...

                            EDIT: Apparently Shift+Space sends a reply. Didn't know that until I accidentally triggered it 😛

                            EDIT 2: Of course, just as baffling is how the crash occurs only under combat conditions... I'm still going to do some further tests to stress-test the walls further.

                              can i get a ship into th Hall Of Fame?
                              (i don't want people to steal it tho)
                              here it is:

                              image https://forum.cosmoteer.net/assets/images/4314-9mlq89BdEZISIr7n.png
                              (its called Big Gun Guy, and you can redo the paint if u want)

                                Brengun Unfortunately, that ship won't be able to make into the hall of fame, simple because it uses Kroom's Forge. The hall of fame is for GCW ships only

                                  Designer225 The problem is that the corridor hybrids use a function that prohibits crew from walking through certain sides of the part, but Cosmoteer is only configured to check for these things when crew are outgoing. The problem is usually solved by placing it with armour on those areas that would normally be blocked on the part itself, which works until the armour is destroyed (which is why destroying only some portions induces the crash).

                                      CursedPh4nt0m I did. I posted anyways. it wasn't a necropost.

                                          Brank It wasn't necroposting, but your reply was late (again) and the topic had been finished for quite some time already.
